EDITOR o'BRIEN.
He Meet With a Hearty Reception
from New Workers.

NEW YORK, May 1O.--The steamer John
K. Moore took the reception committee down
to the steamship Umbria, which was at
anchor outside of Sandy Hook, Monday
evening, and they took Editor O'Brien and es-
corted him to the Hoffman House, in this
city. The night was very foggy and the
Moore was compelled to,lm0ve slowly. 1t
was o'clock when the. party got back as
far as the quarantine. A remarkable scene
was offered as the Moore uran up alongside
the Umbria. n
For several minutes after the committee
had been made known no person in author
ity could be discovered to attend to the New
Workers. wants. The cheers that the COM
mitteemen and their friends sent up for Mr..
OBrien were answered by portions OF the
passengers and crew with groans and coun-
ter cheers for Salisbury, Balfour and other
friends of coercion.
These were in turn responded to by the
400 Irish immigrants on the Umbria with
uproarious cheers for O'Brien, Parnell and
Gladstone, besides more for Bishop Ireland
of Minnesota, who was also on the steamer.
Then the unfriendly people on the Umbria
started up "God Save the Queen" and when
they had reached the middle of the verse, a
loud and clear Irish voice was heard above
aGod Save Ireland" This caused a general
laugh and put an end to the singing. Cap
tain Patterson, of the Moore, had much diff
ficulty in finding any one on the steamship
TO take line from MS DOat. Ills request 10r
the presence of Captain McMickan was
greeted with the information that the Cap
tain was at dinner, at which there were
more jeers.
After about ten minutes, however the
captain came to the rail and asked, what
do you want?"
1--WE have a permit to take some passen-
gers" replied Gen. OBeirne, one Of the
committee.
The captains response to this came
gruffiy: 'pll allow no person to leave the
ship until the doctor has made his examina-
tion."
''Oh, we've doctor and custom house
inspector, too," chimed a chorus from the
Moore. and there was another laugh.
Just then O'Brien appeared at Captain
McMickan's side, and addressing the people
on the Moore inquired, Are there any Of
nv friends who want we to go to New York
I'VE all do" came shouted in reply.
"Then will CO." said O'Brien determin-
edly, adding, after pause, If only out of
conpliment TO the towards here"
There was a wild cheer at this. A ladder
was run up TO the steamships rail, after fore
and aft lines had been made fast, and DIR. A.
M. Smith. brother Of the health officer of
the port, ran up the ladder. He went

AKRON, O.. May 10.-A thunder and rain
storm here Sunday night, which lasted forty
minutes, did $4,000 damage Six houses
were struck in this city by lightning. The
shocks were terrible, almost killing James
Brown, William Sickler, Charles Morgan
and William Taylor, who were picked up
for dead. The business portion of the city
was flooded, and thousands of dollars of
stock was ruined by flooding cellars. Fonr
horses were killed. The houses of James
Durant, w. K Hilderman, N. c. Lewis and
Mrs. Mary Murphy, were swept from their
foundations and badly wrecked. William
Bittman's barn was fired by lightning and
three horses roasted alive, loss $500. In
the barn of T. Wylie the lightning made a
very small hole, but killed horse instantly.
This was the fourth storm of almost equal
severity within four days.
-Four Persons Killed by Lightning.
BALTIMORE, May 10-A letter from Stat
ford Court House. Va, gives the details of
fearful havoc by lightning in that vicinity.
Terrific storms ragged Friday and Saturday
and many barns and other buildings were
struck by lightning. Four persons were
killed in the residence of Andrew Pearson.
He was away from home at the time. When
he returned. he found his wife unconscious,
his three children dead, and Luther Wright,
a friend from Prince William County, dead.
The four persons had been killed by single
bolt. Mr.. Wright stopped at Pearson S
house for shelter, in the midst of one Of the
worst of the storms. He tied his horse to a
tree directly in front of the door, The fury
of the storm made the animal restless, and
Wright, who had been playing with the
children in the front room, went to the door
to quiet the horse. The instant he opened
the door there was terrific crash He fell
dead across the threshold The electric bolt
passed through the house, killing the three
children as they played on the floor, and
tearing hole through the wall Mrs. Pear
son, who was in the kitchen, was struck
down by the shock, and several other per-
sens about the premises were stunned.

Umpire Barton has resigned and Charles
O'Malley. the polo referee, has been APP
pointed as substitute. The League loses
a faithful and Conscientious man in Mr.. Bar
ton, and an umpire thoroughly posted in the
rules. He denies the statement made by the
Haverhill Bulletin that he said after the
game that he did not see Polhemus run by
third base and says he plainly saw him. He
also says that President Knox told him that
Haverhill gentleman and a thorough
partisan saw the trick and that the player
did not touch the base. In relation to the
hot grounder which Stne muffed he quotes
from President Young's instructions to UNI
pires the following:
Rule "a, section 12, II the ball has plainly
passed or been batted through fielder, ana the
base runner has run fairly behind the fielder he
should not be declared out. IL Is no longer fair
batted ball. The intent of the rule was simply 10
prevent the runner from obstructng the fielding
OF a batted ban. The umpire should be parrlct-
larry careful, In enforcing the rule, to use 1udg-
ment.
The third decision was rendered according
to his judgment and whether right or wrong.
the Hayerhill papers admitted that it would
have had no effect on the result OF the game
Mr.. Barton was clearly right. 1t was un-
fortunate that his lot fell to umpire a game
which the P0rtlands played as the opposing
clubs would be prejudiced from the start
